Tiwa Savage Shares Emotional Story Behind Her New Tattoo

Tiwa Savage turned heartbreak into art, literally.

The Nigerian Afrobeats songbird revealed that her latest tattoo was inspired by a painful relationship and her need to release those emotions.

To keep the moment private, she flew her tattoo artiste from Los Angeles to her Lagos home.

Savage wanted a safe space away from the public eye of a tattoo parlour to fully express herself.

The session was intense. Blood flowed and the tattoo artiste was worried, questioning if the design would even work.

For Tiwa, it was worth it because it allowed her to express the pain she had endured.

She described the past two years as a tough period, calling the relationship crazy and expressing relief at finally moving on.
